C27 Ye Nanxuan Was Unforgivable!
Shen Ziang did not know that his phone call was making Ye Nanxuan so insecure currently. The boy crossed his legs while sitting on a chair with a lollipop in his hand. He smiled and said, "Mommy, I'm in the orphanage in St. De's Castle right now. Remember when I was funding an orphan before? She is here. I contacted the Dean today and came over to have a look. It's not bad over here. It looks like my Godfather has made an investment here. The Dean treats me very well. Mommy, can you come pick me up after you finish your work?"
"All right. When you're ready, inform me and I will come to pick you up,"
Shen Mannge said with a smile.
Ye Nanxuan's expression turned even uglier.
She wanted to pick him up?
Was that man coming to Sea City?
He needed to go back and find all the details about this.
After Shen Mannge hung up, she raised her head and saw that Ye Nanxuan was still standing there. She could not help but frown.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
Just now, Shen Mannge had been so tender and affectionate on her phone call. Now, she was treating Ye Nanxuan like she hated him. Ye Nanxuan suddenly felt annoyed and hurt.
"Who wants to come to Sea City? Why don't I pick him up for you?"
Shen Mannge did not understand what he meant, but she said plainly, "I don't need you, Mr. Ye, to worry about me. You should leave quickly. If my friend sees you, it would create misunderstandings. I won't be able to explain your presence."
Ye Nanxuan's mouth tightened, but he did not say anything and left in a huff.
It was rare for Shen Mannge to see Ye Nanxuan so tense, but she felt like she had won a battle. She unlocked her cell phone to check Shen Ziang's location and decided to rent a cab.
As Ye Nanxuan left Shen Mannge's residence, he was upset. Chu Mengxi suddenly called him to ask if he wanted to come home for dinner. Ye Nanxuan said o her impatiently, "I have something to do today, so don't wait for me. Go ahead and eat."
After hanging up, Ye Nanxuan turned around and looked at Shen Mannge's house. Without thinking much of it, he went to the supermarket nearby and bought some vegetables and fish. Then he came back and knocked on Shen Mannge's door once again.
Shen Mannge frowned when she saw him standing before her with the grocery bags in hand.
"Mr. Ye, what are you trying to do?"
"You're sick and you don't have anyone to take care of you. I'll make you something to eat before I go."
Saying this, Ye Nanxuan was about to enter the house, but he was blocked by Shen Mannge before he could do so.
"Thank you, but you and I don't have such a close relationship. If I'm not well enough, I can order takeout."
"That would not be very healthy, seeing as you're still sick. As the CEO of the company you are collaborating with, I must take care of you. You are my subordinate,"
Ye Nanxuan said and squeezed through the doorway without any other explanation.
Shen Mannge never knew that Ye Nanxuan could be so very stubborn. Plus, she did not think that Ye Nanxuan even knew how to cook.
In her three years of marriage to him, she had cooked every dish she could think of for him. This rich young man was the kind who kept a comfortable distance from the kitchen.
Shen Mannge leaned against the door of the kitchen with her arms crossed. She watched Ye Nanxuan clean up the dishes, cut the vegetables, and then pour oil into the wok. All of his movements were done smoothly, as if he had done them hundreds of times before.
When did this man learn how to cook?
Was it because of the child he had with Chu Mengxi?
Shen Mannge's heart tanked.
"I would never have been able to tell that you are an expert at cooking."
Shen Mannge's words sounded sour.
However, Ye Nanxuan smiled and said, "When Ye Rui was very young, his health was poor. He couldn't eat the food made by others, so I learned a little bit."
Of course, Shen Mannge knew who Ye Rui was. Her sour mood took an angry turn in a second.
He could learn to cook for the son he shared with a mistress. But what did he do all these years for Shen Ziang and Shen Luoluo, as their father?
"Get out. Get out!"
Shen Mannge suddenly pulled Ye Nanxuan's arm from behind and pushed him out with all her strength. She closed the front door with a thud, her eyes already moist.
She told herself not to care about such things. She already knew the kind of scum he was, didn't she? But it still hurt. Hearing him say what he could do for Chu Mengxi's child, she was unable to control her anger.
If it had not been for that great fire five years ago—if it had not been for his ruthlessness—would her Luoluo still be admitted to a hospital?
Ye Nanxuan was unforgivable!
Shen Mannge leaned against the door, her body slowly sliding down to the floor. She tried her best not to let the tears come out.
Ye Nanxuan was confused. He was still in that ridiculous bright apron. Why was he kicked out all of s udden? He also suspected that Shen Mannge were red.
He carefully thought about what he had said to her.
Ye Rui!
Upset, Ye Nanxuan realized that he had mentioned the boy to her.
The child between them might have been gone because of what happened five years ago. Now he had made the mistake of mentioning Chu Mengxi's child in front of her. It was like he had opened her freshly scabbed scar with a sharp, pointed knife.
How could he be such a bastard?
Ye Nanxuan raised his fingers, wanting to knock on the door again, but his arm remained in the air for a long time before he finally put it down.
He sighed and stared at the door deeply. Then he took off his apron and placed it by the door before leaving with guilt and a sense of desolation.
